Abstract
BY subjecting to harmonic analysis the hourly records of the intensity of cosmic rays observed over a period of two years by means of ‘counters' inclined at various angles to the horizon, Drs. J. Barnothy and M. Form find that there is a straight line relation between the maximum of the first harmonic wave (sidereal time) and the total thickness of the absorb ing material through which the cosmic rays have passed. They consider this effect to be related to the galactic rotation.
